Homemade Pancakes
This delicious homemade pancake batter makes about 10 pancakes. My brother is hard to please and even he loves my recipe!
Basque Cheesecake
Basque cheesecake, also known as burnt Basque cheesecake, is made by baking the cheesecake in a very hot oven to deliver a beautiful, dark exterior full of bittersweet notes that complements the creamy light interior. I adapted the original recipe to fit a standard cake pan rather than the large springform pan used in the original. I rarely post a trendy recipe while it's still trendy, but this cheesecake method deserves the hype and is just plain easier — just remember the parchment paper.
Ermine Icing
Originally known as ermine icing or butter roux icing, you can change up the flavor of this frosting recipe with any extract you want to try. I love adding peppermint extract for a pop of holiday flavor.
